To Whom It May Concern

Reference for Paul Kirk, Asset Protection Manager

Paul worked for Dove Energy in Yemen from 1st February 2013 until 31st January 2015, when

Dove Energy withdrew from Yemen.

Paul’s performance was first rate and I have no hesitation in recommending Paul for any future

position he may consider.

Prior to working directly for Dove, Paul worked for one year with Dove as a fulltime contractor,

supplied by a world renowned security provider. Due to the increasing demands on the security

front in Yemen, Dove decided to employ fulltime asset protection managers. I had no hesitation

in recommending Paul. His expertise and intelligence gathering were of tremendous value and

the expatriate and Yemeni personnel appreciated the security measures put in place by Paul

and his back-to-back. The weekly security reports provided by Paul and his back-to-back were a

very important part of Dove’s regular communications with its joint venture partners and

facilitated key investment decisions. Dove was very pleased with Paul and his back-to-back.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need further information, please use my personal e-

mail address phiclegg@yahoo.com.

Yours faithfully

Philip G Clegg

General Manager, Dove Energy Limited Yemen

Note: Dove has no other activities outside of Yemen and we were obliged to terminate the
